How do I disable startup sound in Upup32 ?

Puppy Upupbb 19.03
Bionicpup 32 bit

Look in your home directory (root) and you should find a folder called "Startup." If you open that folder, you will likely find a file called "startup_sound." The easiest thing to do would be to delete that file, or move it somewhere else.

That "Startup" folder holds scripts that run automatically when your desktop starts up. There is a README.txt file there with a little more information.

Heh. I've gone out of my way to ADD a startup sound to every one of my Puppies. AND a shutdown one.....in this case, the original Windows XP log-off jingle.

I just like them.....and to my way of thinking, it just adds the "finishing touch". But there ya go; "one's man's meat is another man's poison", and all that..!

It's not to everyone's liking.

Ah, I found it, thx

Hopefully you have moved that file to another place in case you want to re-instate it at a future time.

The following might be of interest to you in another way of achieving the same result.

Bionic Pup 32

Mute Startup Sound

Applications > Filesystem > ROX_Filer file manager > Startup
Right click on startup-sound
Highlight File ‘startup-sound’
Open As Text from the menu

Put a # then space in front of the following 2nd line entry
mplayer /usr/share/audio/sys-login.mp3 &

To make it read
# mplayer /usr/share/audio/sys-login.mp3 &

Then: File > Save (Not Save As) > File > Close > File > Quit

At next boot the startup sound will not not be played.

Quite a lot of goodies there. Files ending .txt are what you are looking for.
